Thank you for the video. I am still really new to building websites so this was very helpful. I followed the video and was able to change the color of my hyperlinks and could see the changes on my screen. I clicked publish to save my changes but when I visit my site from another device the links didn’t change color. What am I doing wrong. Thanks

It should not make much difference which theme you’re using, John. Go to Appearance > Customise and you should be able to find an area where you can add Custom CSS. Watch the video again if you’re still unsure.

Ok, I tried all the links and am more clear on my issue now: I would like to make unvisited links only for hyperlinks embedded in other posts to be a different color, with all other webpage links remaining the same color. Is that possible?

That may be possible, John, but it would be rather complicated, certainly beyond my pay grade. Don’t overcomplicate things. Ask yourself: is it really that important? And wouldn’t it be confusing for your site’s visitors to have different colours for different links?
